Charging challenges can be solved for rugged robotics, says WiBotic

Robotics Business Review

Modern robotics has come a long way since the 1960s. We’ve created robots accurate enough to work on a production line and safe enough to maneuver around a facility floor. In these locations, the robotics charging challenges become more pronounced. Perhaps the most pressing problem of all is how to charge those robots.
